OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Always test a small area to avoid chance of damaging
the surface.
• When using the variable spray nozzle, the spray pattern
and intensity can be adjusted for each task by twisting
the spray nozzle at the far end of the lance.
Operation Tips
• If you hear the motor run intermittently when the trigger is not being squeezed, that is normal. The
pump is priming itself so it is ready to operate when the trigger is squeezed. Turn off the power
washer if not being used after five minutes.
• The o-rings on the bayonet end of the variable spray nozzle should be cleaned regularly and
lubricated with non-water soluble grease such as petroleum jelly (not included).
• Keep the nozzle cleaning wire for use in unclogging the lance nozzle. If you lose the cleaning wire,
a straightened paper clip also works.
How to Avoid Damaging Surfaces
• Damage to surfaces being cleaned occurs because the impact force of the water pressure exceeds
the durability of the surface. Bare wood can be penetrated; paint can be peeled off, etc. You can
vary the force of your power washer by controlling:
1. the angle of the surface being cleaned
2. the distance of the nozzle from the surface being cleaned
